My Background

I retired in 2016, after a career of 40 years in the maritime transportation industry. The first 14 years were spent actively sailing on various tugs, including seagoing units, transporting primarily petroleum products on the coasts of the U.S. I worked my way from deckhand to captain. You will see the maritime influence in much of my wo

Even as a youngster I had an interest in art. Early on I got a a set of pastels for Christmas and my journey began. I am largely self-taught. Unfortunately art took a back seat to work and family life. A few years before retirement, my artistic endeavor was rekindled upon enrolling in a weekly art class.

Always having an interest and desire to draw and paint, it wasn’t until retirement that I would begin in earnest my artistic journey. Working primarily in pastel and acrylic, much of my work is is heavily influenced from my career nautical experience. The myriad of sea and sky conditions and the interplay of the lines and shapes of vessels are fascinating. Even abandoned ships or boats, in various states of decay, have stories to tell. Not limiting my work to maritime subjects, I am inspired by some of my other life experiences. I enjoy experimenting in other media and styles, and look forward to the twists and turns my artistic sojourn may take.
